Monks sifu here , wanna ask how much AllRes is required to be safe in Act 1 Inferno? (0 death, playing HC ). Is ~400 AllRes enough or need more? (With roughly 1k LoH).

Thanks in advance!

Hmm alrighty then, I mainly scared of molten / descrerator / arcane sentry (died once from this )

Yeah dual wield LoH seems to be nice (More LoH, more ASPD) but I'm not sure if it's safe in HC.. scared will die; and also the lack of passive slot at level 60 (Near Death Experience + Sieze the Initiative + One with Everything)

I tried not using NDE once and lost my fresh level 58 monk cause of it. Will never ditch NDE for anything else now

Hmm, alright then. Will stick with at least 400 All Res to be safe. Not gonna ditch shield as well since it mitigates quite a sum of damage thru blocking and additional resistances.

Haha, my wizard was only created for fun to see how well it can tank by spending a little on it. As for my DH... everything is too expensive and farming sucks due to the lousy loots.. basically I give up farming in SC mode already. Now playing HC mode for fun and its thrill-feeling

Just cleared HC Hell Act 4 with roughly:

(buffed stats).

Armor: 6647
DPS: 9402
Allres: 523
HP: 35885
LOH: 1062

Hopefully can clear HC Act 1 Inferno without losing this char >.<

Haha no choice, not funded in HC and items are so expensive / not even in AH.

Remade a monk in SC after my HC's died again . Gotta use my current DH gears (most likely a heavy critical build). What is the minimum LOH / DPS on the weapon I should have? Too long didn't farm, fund a bit limited

Hmm, not sure how much my DPS will be. But it'll be a crit based build.

What stats? How much?

Botter?

All my gears are from AH tradings / flippings.

Addon: But these stopped ever since last month. The game is so dead with terrible loot rolls.

Tried different weapon combination and seems that high DPS (~51k unbuffed) + Crit rate & dmg + Life Steal % works like wonder.

Managed to kill stuff in Act 2 pretty easily, but still having problem in Act 3 (most likely due to the low AllRes, since my DH doesn't have much of it in its equipments. ~500 AllRes only).

Those normal / not-so-retarded affixes in act III still okay, but those hard-hitting / troublesome packs with troublesome affixes (e.g. Hulking Phase Beast, or some elites with molten + firechain combination) = at least 3 deaths

Hmm, burst in 4 seconds. Gotta give it a try, now still using serenity for oh-shit button lol

Hmm, the burst-thing you mentioned is nice, managed to down some troublesome packs with 0 - 2 deaths.

Plus I guess I need to learn to kite a little even with monk (my mind's planted with the idea of melee = no need kite ).
Always rambo too much, that's why will die

Edit: Yeah, currently using MoC + Overawe, Blind + Faith, and Sweeping Wind + Cyclone for burst.

Haha. I meant kiting when sere is on CD. I tend to sit on top of a descre without knowing and.. died.

Haha, usually out of 3 pieces of them, 1 will down and the remaining two, very disturb

Yeah. Using those cyclones as my primary health regeneration skill. LifeSteal + Critical + cyclones = awesome

Since your DPS kinda high also, maybe can give life steal a try. My monk currently relies on life steal + cyclone + high crits to survive. Sometimes still die tho, since the life steal is not constant (values for me roughly 200 life per hit ~ 1000 + life per hit depending on damage, after inferno nerfed)

DEX, Weapon DPS, Attack Speed, Crit Chance, Crit Damage. All these are taken into calculations of DPS. Most are multiplicative, and since 1 dex = 1% damage, having too high dex but low on others (e.g. weapon dps) will result in lower overall dps. Balance in everything.

I don't think the skill % shows in your character DPS sheet. In fact it just work like how Quaza explained, total DPS / damage dealt + X %

Ah, my bad. Interpreted your message wrongly.
